47 Migrants Found Dead in Abandoned Trailer in Texas Smuggling Incident

Bob Price and Randy Clark 27 Jun 2022

Police near San Antonio report that 47 migrants are dead and at least 18 others were transported to local hospitals after being locked inside a tractor-trailer. Officials found the tractor-trailer on the southwest side of San Antonio on a back road near Interstate 35. Police say the driver may have been involved in a human smuggling incident.

A senior law enforcement source on the scene told Breitbart Texas that 47 migrants were declared dead on the scene or at area hospitals and at least 18 others were taken to area hospitals. A source on the scene says they have a person of interest in custody. That person was also reportedly transported to an area hospital. At least 60 migrants were packed inside the trailer.

Due to the circumstances, ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agents were called in and are taking charge of the investigation. Border Patrol agents are also reported to be on the scene.

The law enforcement source told Breitbart the person of interest may have attempted to blend in with the migrants and was transported to a hospital.

At this time, it is not known how law enforcement found the trailer containing the dead migrants. Information about the deceased and injured migrants is also not available.

Earlier this month, local police agents found two migrants dead in a tractor-trailer loaded with 111 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported. La Salle County Sheriff’s deputies responded to frantic 911 calls from migrants being smuggled in a semi-tractor trailer near Encinal, Texas, on Friday. Dispatchers could hear screams from migrants trapped inside the closed trailer traveling north and away from the border on Interstate 35. When the vehicle was encountered, two migrants were dead and 111 were apprehended after an exhaustive search.

Breitbart Texas reached out to HSI officials for additional information. A response was not available at press time. Officials did say they would be sending a statement shortly. This article will be updated at that time.

Nearly five years ago, San Antonio police found another tractor-trailer where eight migrants were dead and 20 others were listed in critical or serious condition.

So which is worse, an AR-15 or a semi?  When will we see protests against semis since they are bigger mass killers?

This is what a governmental policy of total inattention of border security will get you. 

Lot's of blood on Pedo Joe's and Border Czar's Kamala's hands today.

Texas lawmakers blast Biden after 46 migrants found dead in tractor-trailer

By Emily Crane

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has lashed out and blamed President Joe Biden for the deaths of 46 migrants whose bodies were found abandoned in a tractor-trailer in sizzling temperatures in a suspected smuggling attempt.

Hours after the bodies were discovered in the back of an 18-wheeler in San Antonio Monday evening, the Republican governor fired off a tweet saying, “These deaths are on Biden.”

“They are a result of his deadly open border policies,” he added. “They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law.”

A number of fellow Republicans also blamed Biden’s immigration policies for the tragedy, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeting, “How many more people have to die before Dems give a damn?”

Except neither Joe or Kamel give a darn.

It isn't the semi, it's the policies that encourage this sort of thing. Poor bastards. Maybe if they'd been encouraged to stay home, they'd be alive.

White House Claims ‘Border Is Closed’ After 46 Migrants Found Dead in Truck Trailer in San Antonio

I gotta find that clip.  Saying that with a straight face deserves an Academy Award.

This is a much bigger, and more preventable, tragedy than Uvalde.  But the story will disappear in a day.

Yes it will, but it will also further galvanize the growing GOP hispanic base against the dims.

Greg Abbott blames migrant deaths on Biden's open border policies

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sought to blame the Biden administration for the deaths of dozens of migrants found by law enforcement officers inside a tractor-trailer.

Abbott said Monday night that the deaths should be pinned on the Biden administration's open border policies.

"These deaths are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies," Abbott tweeted. "They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law."

Since Biden took office in January 2021, the number of noncitizens apprehended attempting to enter the country or denied admission at a port of entry has increased threefold, reaching over 200,000 encounters per month on several occasions. Just within this fiscal year, more than 3,000 people have been found by Border Patrol agents inside commercial trucks, many of which do not have air conditioning.

This is getting minimal MSM coverage.  And I am betting the hispanic electorate are noticing.
